And so it begins: What to know going into the Sundance Film Festival

The 2024 Sundance Film Festival is underway. I’ll be heading up to Park City later today (Friday) to help cover the festival for The Salt Lake Tribune — and I’ll be posting reviews of movies I see up there in this space.

I’ve already written several stories for The Tribune. Here they are:

• How do you navigate Sundance? Here are the tips you need to know to get tickets, deal with parking, and the other aspects of attending.

• You want to see celebrities? I maintain a list of which celebrities are coming (and, in some cases, are already here).

• I talked to Utah’s favorite Sundance filmmakers — “Napoleon Dynamite” director Jared Hess and his co-writer/wife Jerusha Hess — about their breakout movie, 20 years after it premiered at Sundance. I also talked to them about what Jared’s directing now: The live-action adaptation of the video game “Minecraft.”
